Half of them weren’t even spam at all, so if you guys posted comments which didn’t get posted, sorry! Should be there now.
Looks like I’ll have to keep checking the spam filter.

Category: Blog Updates
We’ve hit a new milestone here at Heavy Blog Is Heavy. We’ve hit 666 posts!
I’m fully aware that The Number Of The Blog beat us to it months ago even though we’ve been around longer. Shut up. Don’t ruin this for me.
It’s been over a year. It sure took long enough! It’s a shame I’ll be at work all day.

EDIT: Everything seems to be in order now. Thank you, God.
If you notice any problems, let me know.
So I updated HBIH to WordPress 3.0 and started working on my next Bands That Made Me Heavy post. I then realize the following bullshit:
- I can’t add post tags, as the drop down menu doesn’t work
- There’s no longer a place to change the post’s permalink.
- I can’t change the publish time/date as the link to do that doesn’t do anything, so I can’t write automatically set posts to appear at a later time.
- The Upload/Insert picture/movie/music buttons, instead of having a pop up menu, take me away from the post editor page to a new page.
- The Preview button doesn’t work for shit.
I’m all kinds of FUCKING RAGE right now. If WordPress doesn’t fix this issue, then I don’t know how I’m going to keep doing this. As I’m typing this, I’m not even sure if it can even make posts. If I can’t, then there will be a new level of pissed off I have yet to reach and I’ll just RAGE QUIT this thing. Obviously, if you see this now, that wasn’t the case.
So until WordPress fixes this or something, you wont see many updates. I’ll be at work all day, so any issues won’t be addressed until I get home. Until then, go out and see Toy Story 3 or something.

We just added a new gallery that shows thumbnails of all the albums we have reviewed. When you hover your cursor over the album art, you’ll get a tool tip that tells the album’s name and rating, and you can click through to the review.
You can check that out via the link at the top of the page, or on the right sidebar.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! It’s gonna be a slow week. First off, the new releases:
A Forest Of Stars – Opportunistic Thieves of Spring (Transcendental)
Corrosion Of Conformity – Playlist: The Very Best Of Corrosion Of Conformity (Columbia/Legacy)
How To Destroy Angels – How To Destroy Angels (Null)
I Declare War – Malevolence (Razor and Tie)
Lamb Of God – Hourglass (Epic)
Melvins – The Bride Screamed Murder (Ipecac)
Axel Rudi Pell – The Crest (SPV)
Setherial – Ekpyrosis (Regain)
Stick To Your Guns – The Hope Division (Sumerian)
On top of that short list of this week’s releases, HBIH will see a drop in updates. Here’s my week for you:
Monday: Here, doing stuff. Possibly writing news stories to be posted throughout the week.
Tuesday: Work all day.
Wednesday: Major dental work. So major, the drugs will probably make me forget this day even existed.
Thursday: I’ll still be out of it from Wednesday. You might not see much of me at all.
Friday: We’ll see how it works out.
So, there’s that. I hope you enjoy your week, and hopefully we’ll have something more for you this week outside of today!

Whoa, what the hell happened over here?
This is a new layout that’s still being worked on. Nothing’s final yet, but I’m working diligently. The opinions I’ve gotten so far have been warm, so that’s good. I want you guys to sound off in the comments section of this post to give me some feedback on stuff that can be changed. Help guide us on the path of awesomeness!

We need writers to post news, editorials, and reviews! Shoot us an email over at mail(at)heavyblogisheavy(dot)com if you think you’re awesome enough to be up to the task!

So on and so forth. Hooray!

Heavy Blog Is Heavy is now in a convenient mobile scheme for those of you who browse on your iPods and iPhones, and I assume it’ll also appear similarly for those using other mobile devices too.
Thanks to deseee of The Number of The Blog for pointing me in the right direction of setting this up.

If anyone out there tried to sent an email over to mail(at)heavyblogisheavy(dot)com, I did not receive them. DreamHost’s email forwarding system is apparently shitty and didn’t do what it was supposed to do. I now have G-Mail handling all of HBIH’s email, so we now have a reliable mail system.
So once again, if anyone out there tried to shoot us an email, please send it again. Sorry for any inconvenience!
We are still looking for contributors. Send us a review or an article and I’ll get you started posting here. We need more content and variety going on here at Heavy Blog. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
